Not to put too fine a point on it, but “where the hell is my check?” Ask this nettlesome question no longer, as PYMNTS’ prefatory Provider Ranking of Payroll Apps brings an accountant’s precision (and a developer’s eye) to the blooming wage access and HR mobile app sector.
There are names you know and some you’ll be hearing more about as activity heats up between HR/wage access apps. What’s important is that technology has finally taken aim at something really important — treating people better and paying them faster.
Here’s how things worked out.
The Top 5
A familiar name at No. 1 is Paychex Flex with its “all-in-one” HR solution.
Next up at No. 2 is the recruiting, HR and payroll app from Paycor, with Alliance MyPay snagging the No. 3 chart position.
At No. 4 we find sleek Square Payroll and its online payroll service. This first time laboring on the Provider Ranking of Payroll Apps, our No. 5 is HR giant Zenefits, which recently rolled out extensive new capabilities enabling small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to shop, choose and administer HR and health plans.
The Top 10
Working our way down this very first Provider Ranking of Payroll Apps, TriNet owns the No. 6 chart position with its multi-vertical flexibility.
At No. 7 it’s another known quantity, QuickBooks Payroll, riding high on Intuit’s February acquisition of OneSaas to integrate third-party eCommerce solutions into the platform.
Who’s at No. 8? It’s the RUN Powered By ADP app, as the payroll titan adds artificial intelligence (AI) processing to its popular platform.
We can all use payroll advice, but even better at No. 10 is the Payrollguru app engineered for SMBs and possibly, as the name implies, doing so with an almost mystical clarity (for an app).
That’s a wrap for this inaugural Provider Ranking of Payroll Apps. See you at the office.
We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to partner with innovators and disruptors.
